My performance is awful on a new PC. Why?

Thank you both for confirming this. I’ve added Sonic Suite 2 to the list of software conflicts with UE4. If the program has a particular version number (other than the “2”) it would be helpful to have that for the documenting purposes. In the meantime, I’ll be marking this as the correct answer for the question. If anyone still has the problem after disabling Sonic Suite 2, just comment here and let us know.
